You must have a masters degree in Zen... :-) Of course You are right. I should do both.
My concerns about "doing it right" includes beeing anxious - not to break any links when I translate the individual tiddlers. I wonder if I could make a "work in progress fET" that shows me the relation between tiddlers as I go forward.. A table that shows me relations - parents and children... (I don't know how to tell which tiddlers link to the tiddler in question - maybe just a simple textsearch?) Doing it the "normal way" - might that be to follow a path similar to: first translate tiddlers "at the bottom of the foodchain" with less links - like subsubsubsubnotes - and slowly work my way up the hieracy of linkrelations by adressing more and more tiddlers holding the same links - and remember to solve more relations/other links on the way up...?? Btw. I have "dom 7-error" when I try to open twab in Google Chrome - and when I try to open twab in IE it tells me that there's an unknown error - so it only works in Firefox. I was thinking that I might make a TW just with twabcontacts and "include" them via the includeplugin - But I must admit that not beeing able to use twab in IE & GoogleChrome - makes me consider taking the csv import functions only - to fill a more simple template.. (To be honest I don't have a clue what is causing the problem...)
